Lin Sen's defense against Ingram can be said to be a plea. The two of them are not at the same heavyweight class at all. The latter's wingspan and height are not an advantage when facing Lin Sen's third position. Instead, they are hit by the basket again and again because of their weight.

The Lakers want to make changes, but who will defend Lin Sen? Mozgov? This was directly the starter who was in the Cavaliers' counterattack. If you ask him to defend Lin Sen, Lin Sen will only play more easily.

Lakers fans are still a little dissatisfied with Lin Sen's despise of his purple gold giants this summer. Now the Pacers have no George. They think it is the best opportunity to defeat the Pacers. They never thought that Lin Sen would make the Lakers' penalty area messy alone.

Randall stood in front of Lin Sen, but the one stop exposed his shortcomings in standing in the No. 5 position - height. As a No. 5 position, he was shorter than Ingram who defended Lin Sen at the beginning, only 206cm, and his arm span was average. Lin Sen was simply simple to deal with such a player. As long as he felt good, he could keep throwing in front of Randall.

The Lakers' new head coach Walton off the court is having a headache at this moment. He brought out the Warriors' 24-game winning streak last year, which made Walton very accustomed to playing based on the Warriors' lineup last year, and Randall was even used by him as Green. This season's assists increased from 1.8 to 3.6. You should know that when he first entered the league, Randall was a pure ending point.

Randle is not Green, Russell and Luway are not Splash brothers, their record is very bad. They are almost as tacit and strong as the Warriors on the defensive end. Being beaten by the opponent's inside is normal, let alone 29 per game, and Lin Sen, who has to do his best without George.

Jump shot, hook, and direct dunk after turning around. Lin Sen has already divided the Lakers' penalty area into his own private territory. At least tonight, the Lakers can't even double-teams to stop Lin Sen, who is already cheating.

41 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, and 2 steals, 114:97, Lin Sen led the Pacers to win the first game without George.

"Hey! Guys, I know a lot of people are waiting to see me beaten up, but it's a pity that I disappointed you in the first game!" Lin Sen faced the interview with a smile, and took this opportunity to mock the melon-eating fans who were waiting for Lin Sen to be beaten up, "Next we will return to the home court, and I will take the Pacers to maintain the first place in the East to wait for Paul's return."

Such an answer will naturally not make many fans waiting to be happy. They will start to be arrogant after winning a West 14. The Pacers are the real difficulty. Whether Westbrook is strong or not must be very strong. After all, together with Harden, he has become the biggest candidate for MVP this year! But what do you want to say about the Thunder’s record? He barely reached the playoffs level.

Adams, Oladipo, Kanter, Robertson, Sabonis, these players will definitely not be worse than the Pacers without George. Will Linson lead better? Not falling out of the top three in the East means that Linson played well and wanted to keep himself first in the East. It was simply delusional.

Back to Indiana, welcoming Lin Sen, who just boasted that Haikou, was three consecutive home games, and all three teams were Western Conference playoff teams, which was the real test.

And at this moment, something worse happened again. CJ Myers was infected with the flu after returning to Indiana and would miss at least two games.

The small forward has always been one of the problems of the Pacers. George is the top five small forward in the league, and he has the attributes of being an offensive and defensive. As long as he exists on the court, even the three best small forwards in the position will not suffer any losses. But the problem is that there is no suitable small forward substitute.

Glen Robinson III and CJ Myers, these two people are the three people who are most frequently pushed to the small forward by McMillan. Their height is 198cm. The most suitable position is the shooting guard. It is a forced approach to let them play as a substitute. After George was injured, CJ Myers became the starter. Well, now even CJ Myers is injured. This is a worse situation, even his own Pacers fans are not optimistic about this game.

McMillan's hair was gone, no, it seemed that it was gone either. However, in the training hall, McMillan had already been very uncomfortable. He kept adapting to the lineup, hoping to find a player to fill the gap in the small forward position.

The Pacers are never simply a person in the position defense. Lin Sen, Turner and George's three forward highs are not short at all compared to the three highs that the Lakers had won in a row. Moreover, their wingspan and speed are significantly longer. These three people can almost tell the opponent that there is only a dead end to the large-scale transfer, so facing the Pacers, many teams cannot open the tactics and can only perform various positions on the strong side, which also makes Lin Sen easier to play.

But if one link is missing, the Pacers' defensive system is incomplete. This season, the Pacers' limit on opponent teams is 96.4 points. In the 6 games of the Eastern Conference Finals, none of them exceeded 90 points, and the lowest was even 69:65. This is incomparable to the defense of that period, but now the rules are changing, the playing style is changing more rounds, and the rules are more friendly to the outside. The Pacers' level defense is already among the top ten in the league this season.

Defense, defense, if you want to let the Pacers win, you rely on Lin Sen to attack, so you cannot rely on Lin Sen. Lin Sen is not an iron man, and it is impossible for him to explode 100% on both ends of the offense and defense in every game. He has to arrange the defense to prevent Lin Sen from having any worries.

Training continues, and the strong teams who challenged away are coming soon. The first game was the Rockets, which have made good progress this season, especially after Harden played an extremely outstanding season, Howard's departure did not stop the Rockets from stagnating.

Their signings this season are very good. The addition of Anderson, an anti-aircraft turret, and Nene added the bench to the inside, their inside line has been built. On the outside, after failing to chase Eric Gordon, they chose the former former player Jeremy Lin, and brought him back to the Rockets with a salary of 36 million in three years. This year, Jeremy Lin appeared on the court more as the sixth man and performed well.
